Living the Passionate Life is Within Your Grasp

By Connie Ragen Green

Living your life with passion can become challenging if you are around people who do not share your beliefs. All attempts at maintaining a positive thinking and believing system may be stretched to the limits as you find yourself dealing with people who continue to see the glass as half empty. Here are 3 tips on dealing with these kinds of people.

1. Lead by example – Instead of telling your friends and family exactly what you are feeling and doing day by day, show them. You may be surprised at how observant people are, especially children. When they see you in a happy, relaxed state they will begin to pick up that things are different. Instead of reacting to a situation they will observe how you look for a positive outcome that will benefit everyone involved.

2. Set time aside for yourself daily – Insist on making time just for you each day. This should be uninterrupted time where you can think, write, breathe, stretch, and just daydream. Choose a time of day that will work with your schedule and stick to it as though it were an appointment. You may need to begin with a short period of time and extend it as the people around you adjust to it. You will find that your family members will respect this time and even remind each other that you are not to be disturbed for anything that is not an emergency during this time.

3. Invite those closest to you to become a part of your passion – living a passionate life is largely about having the time and energy to enjoy every precious event with those you love. By sharing what you are feeling and how it relates to them, your family will begin to understand what your particular passion is all about. Allow them to see how happy you are when you are involved in your passion. They may never know who you are deep inside unless you invite them in to see.

As you become more experienced in this area your friends and family will feel more comfortable sharing their passions with you. In getting to know these people on a more intimate basis you will all grow and expand. If there are issues from the past that are painful you may find ways to work through them that will solidify the foundation of your friend’s and family’s beliefs.

Living your life with passion is not a solo experience. It is one that encompasses all of the people that you come in contact with on a regular basis. Our life is what happens to us each day as we are busy making great plans for the future. The passion is in the journey. Walk the path slowly so that you will learn and grow with each step. Invite the people close to you to join you at times that are appropriate for each of you. In this way you can live the passionate life while showing others around you how to find their own passions.
